Jesse Love, the 19-year-old promising young gun from Richard Childress Racing, made history recently. The defending ARCA Menards Series champion is driving full-time at the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season. His rookie season is turning out to be a dreamy one, as he clinches back-to-back poles. What sets him apart is that he is the first rookie ever to have achieved this feat.

Aware of his recent doings, Jesse Love sat down at the pre-race conference and briefed the fans about his goals and hopes for the ongoing season. Let us hear about that from ‘The Hammer’ himself.

Knowing about his car’s potential, Jesse Love aims for more playoff points

In the pre-race interview of the upcoming ‘Raptor King of Tough 250’, Jesse answered the questions with an optimistic approach. The interviewer asked Jesse about his run and what he was looking forward to this weekend. The #2 Chevy Camaro driver replied, “So my goal is to hopefully get locked in the playoffs in the first, you know five or ten races. And obviously, we have another good shot tomorrow night,” said Jesse Love.

Jesse also discussed how a bit of knowledge about Xfinity cars helped him gain substantial experience. He is looking forward to utilizing that today. “So I think I learned a little bit of a lesson at Daytona of how fast our car is. I can probably take my time a little more than other guys and still get to the front pretty quickly. I’m gonna implement that tomorrow night, hopefully, win the first stage, and get some more playoff points in general,” he added.

Keeping his own performance aside, Jesse tries to bring his team to the spotlight. He speaks about crew chief Danny Stockman’s immense contributions in shaping them and their cars ready before the race. Jesse believes that a driver can do little in superspeedways as it is the backend team that does the majority of work.

“But after that just kind of take my time and methodically get to the front, I feel like last week I was just a rabid dog trying to get back to the front. Our cars are really good leading and that’s probably why, and they handle well too. So yeah, it’s awesome and we have another good shot at tomorrow night,” he said after expressing his pleasure with the car.

In last weekend’s United Rentals 300, Jesse Love got involved in a massive multi-car wreck. After getting bumped by John Hunter Nemechek, Love’s car got spun and hit SVG, who was racing forward in P5 at that point. He himself ended up in the 20th spot, thanks to the wreck. However, his team performed exceptionally well with his teammate Austin Hill clinching victory.

While Jesse would be targeting a win this week, these previous experiences can come in handy. He has the passion and the urge to succeed at the highest level. We have to wait to know if Jesse Love can back these qualities up with consistency.
